12:02 pm
ecstatic because the breaking news is, searchers have found the missingç family. william has confirmed the news for us. what do we know, william? >> we just talked to the sheriff at the scene, and they said they have very little information now other than they're safe and sound. they'll have some details at0aç news conference shortly. this -- the major concern, shepard, was hypothermia. it's bad enough -- can start at 30 or 40 degrees above zero, and as you said, we hadç degrees lt night of 10 below, 16 below the night before, and it's more pronounced in the younger. the younger, the more susceptible, shiver, poor judgment, lout consciousness as your body attempts to protect its courtier. -- core temperature. they were worried about the little children. so thisç is miraculous news.
12:03 pm
they had sunday and monday in freezing temperatures and today it's only get to to get above 32 later today. so, that's the good news. we also had visibility todayç that was excellent so the helicopters had heat-seeking radar. three airplanes were up. we don't know where they were found in a snow bank or the jeep. the jeep had a black roof andç they were hoping that would stand out or pop against the white snow background. we do not know yet of where exactly they were found or were they in the vehicle. >> we don't know specific of the conditions of the people.ç right? >> we don't know other than they're all alive, and this is a very rugged area, as you said. 7,000 feet, in the seven troughs got its name from seven steep canyons coming off that. the last time they were seen was sunday aroundç noon, maybe 2:00 p.m., by a rancher in the area. that's where they began their search, out from that area. again, very rugged, very remote, and all likely hood, cell
12:04 pm
phone coverage was useless because they probably lost thei- battery. it was very spotty as it was already. in this particular case they had three helicopters, three fixed wing, about maybe 50ç to 100 volunteers and police going out looking for them, and today we have this miraculously good news that they're all found alive. man, alive, we're waiting for more information jz this andç expect agnus conference at some point. we hope to learn what the condition is of the kids and in the end, we hope to learn exactly who found them and how. a miraculous survival story from the seven troughsç region of nevada. more more on this throughout the afternoon. a the search crews were dealing with cold temperatures a second round of snow is hitting a good chunk of the nation, from virginia to new england. folks are still digging out from theç weekend's winter mess. the storm again crippled airports. philly's airport grounded all
12:05 pm
flights for a while. at one point officials reported delays at newark airport averaging five and a halfç hou. the snow hit new york city in the height of the commute. it hit the tracks, and in the nation's capitol, many federal workers got stay home even txo. as soon as it hit the ground. take a look at this storm's path over the last 24 hours. the system has moved through -- so fast -- 24-hourç map -- this is yesterday and how hat section right there would move up to the heavily populated areas, into new england. but the question was, how cold? as it turned out, when i woke up this morning, it was 33,ç and t stayed that way throughout the day. the snow kept falling and falling, but in the big city texas didn't stick so you were -- big city, didn't stick, so you were onç point. did it snow? yes, did it stick?
12:06 pm
no. >> thank you, shepard. most of the forecasters got it right in general we were talking about one to four inches. some areas getting higher totals, like parts of maryland, six inches for you.ç virginia, five inches. delware, three inches, and new jersey, there's your!j jackpot, 4.3 inches. so, not a big, big storm system, but it came at the rush hour and a lot of things were delayed and schools were cancelled, andç ks had a snow day. here's the radar. s a you said it is exiting the coast very quickly. light snow for providence, rhode island. new york, just cloudy skies. philadelphia, cloudy skies for you as well. airport delays,ç yes, still consistent here in boston, la guardia, jfk, newark, and philadelphia. the other big story is the extreme cold. shepard mention mentionedç the coldest temperatures this time of the year. these are the lows tonight. that's not wind chill. so, in the minus teens, it is frigid. people are urged to stay indoors
12:07 pm
and be warm. we $ve wind chill warnings where it's going to feel anywhere from minus 35 to minus 50. incredibly cold temperatures. and i mentioned chicago, some of the coldest air they've seen in year thisç early in the season. by thursday, overnight lows of zero. and we're watching something else on the radar. >> more snow or what is it? >> that's could be a nor easter and could bring the storm weç just saw and the storm we saw over the weekend to shame. one of the early forecast models and this could be a legitimate nor'easter. we think right now mostly rain along the coast, dependingç on where the storm tracks. the latest modeling shows a little more offshore, which would mean more wrap-around cold air and more snow. so this is going to happen. we think right now, saturday into sunday.'tq árq(, here's or forecast models, indicating snow totals, and will you have a look at this. six to 12, maybe 18 inches
12:08 pm
towards new england. still five days out. a lot of computerç modeling to hone in on, but right now this could be the event that we're going to be watching. >> at least it's not a wimpy atlanta, raleigh snow. a real northeastern snow storm. we depends have muchç last yea. >> as you mentioned yesterday, eight and a half inches in philadelphia was the most snow they saw -- didn't seen see that last year total. so, yes, we're off to a pretty snowyr start. could be a big one. >> all right. we'reç ready. thank you, j.d. the weather here may be a pain but nothing compared to antarctica. scientists say at one part ofç the continence they recently recorded the coldest temperature ever recorded on the planet. 135 degrees below zero, and that's not a wind chill for the penguins. that's a real temperature, 135.8. theç researchers got the readis
12:09 pm
from some satellite. it head in august of 2010. august, because that's the winter in the southern hemisphere. flipped me out a little bit, too. there's lots ogç snow. scientists say it hurts to breathe in this kind of weather. if you breathe in that weather very long you don't continue to breathe. on the old record was 128.6 degrees. onç july 31, this year, 135.3 degrees. apparently the coldest temperature in the united states ever recorded, 76-point --ç 9.6 degrees below zero in alaska. this does not bother pentagon wins at all, i'm hold. we're all penguin fans. allç -- for perspective, when it's 70 degrees below zero, exposed skin can freeze in less than two minutes, and in this kind of weather, this 135 below
12:10 pm
zero, your lungs can freeze.ç and other things we don't even want to think about. ahead, the newlywed murder trial we have been reporting on this for a long time. the bride is accused of pushing her groom two-handed right off the face of a cliff.ç there's the groom and the bride. today some crying in court. the woman's relatives testifying, and the crack-smoking mayor of toronto, rob ford, on the attack with a comment about aç reporter. hat he said and the reaction to what he is doing. that's coming up from the fox news deck on a snow where tuesday in the big city. gets into equipment and makes weird things happen.ç
12:11 pm
12:12 pm
12:13 pm
>> update now on a story we brought you moments ago. great news the searchers found the missing family lost in the mountains in nevada, been in these snow peaks for days and there were great fears it would not end well but it has. we just got a quote from the undersheriff. he says crews launched a search on sunday night for 34-year-old james glanton, his 25-year-old girlfriend and the four children, and officials say the group went to the seven troughs area sunday to play in the snow but never returned home. temperatures in the nearby town of lovelock dipped to 16 doings below zero during the search. and here's the new quote on he missing family.
12:14 pm
the undersheriff says we have located the people. they've been taken to the hospital. they are alive and well. said the undersheriff. they are in pretty good shape, and that's a quote. man, incredible news from the seven troughs area of nevada. can't wait to see that family. and then there's this. toronto's crack-smoking mayor, rob ford, just found himself yet another controversy. in an interview yesterday, he suggested a record from the toronto star newspaper, which has been going after him pretty good, frankly -- quote, may be a pedophile. the reporter. classy, rob. the mayor claimed the reporter photographed this children over his backyard fence last year and he didn't want to say the worked -- the word but made the mayor wonder what this guy all about. the reporter denies he is a pedophile. hello. officials at the toronto star are looking into whether they
12:15 pm
can sue mayor ford for defamation. toronto's deputy mayor is running the city. mayor ford's powers have all been stripped. the deputy mayor called rob ford's comments, quote, beyond the pale, unquote, and should apologize to the reporter. >> some emotional testimony in the murder trial of a bride accused of killing her husband eight days after the wedding. federal prosecutors say jordan graham pushed cody johnson to his death from a cliff at glacier national park in montana in july. the "associated press" reports graham's teenage brother cried on the stand. graham is the woman who is accused here. and testified he was angry with her for lying about his -- her husband's disappears. in other words, the woman said my husband disappeared. the last time i saw him he was with some other people. i don't know what happened to him. then later we find out he went off the cliff, and the report is that the woman, also cried
12:16 pm
during the testimony. anyway, i don't know -- prosecutors say she initially claimed her husband went off with friends and later led investigators the body and said it was all an accident. their lawyer said the wife lied because nobody would believe her. she pleaded not guilty. lisa is with us, defense attorney and has been following this along with us. we talk about this the other day. when something awful happens you husband of eight days, falls off a cliff, it would be up usual, it would seem to me to make up a story of running off with somebody else. >> that's the crux of the case. she came back with this self-defense, and self-difference an affirmative defense so now she has to say, i did it, and here's why. it's becoming very unbelievable, especially in light of the first degree murder charge, which is kind of significant here because originally it was only a second degree murder charge.
12:17 pm
but there's new evidence that suggests that there were aggravating factors so aggravating and egregious they increased the charge. has to do with the blindfold. >> tell us about that. >> forensic evidence came back from the scene there was actually blindfold and it had cody johnson's dna on it in light of the defense, this is very difficult because when in fact did you have time to blindfold cody johnson before he fell off the cliff if you were acting in self-defense. so, kind of a hurdle for the defense attorney who is now trying to get it thrown out or the trial postponed based on getting the notice of this charge later. >> in opening statements, they late out the case. the prosecution laid out their case saying, not only did she push him off, but they're contending she pushed him with both hands and he fell face first. where do they come up with that?
12:18 pm
i. >> forensics. she admitted it in the interrogation that she pushed him with two hands. so, again -- >> she said there was an argument, he pushed at her, she pushed back, and what i think she was trying to claim is self-defense of some kind. >> that's the problem. >> and this is after the blind fold. >> somewhere after the blindfold, this person was defending herself from her husband, and let's not forget they're on a cliff in the dark, and she is saying she could potentially be afraid of him or sending him off. that's not exactly a place that somebody would choose to go to tell someone i don't want to be married to you anymore. >> wonder how long this will last. >> should be interesting, right? >> well, you know, if she murdered her husband, about to get what she deserved. >> life in jail without parole. >> no chance for death penalty in this case. they decided against it. >> yes. >> good to see you. we'll keep following it. lawmakers in washington could be close to doing something they haven't managed to do in two years. pass a budget to avoid another one of those potential government showdowns. in other words, the news is that
12:19 pm
congress may actually get something done. don't hold your breath. but we'll report on it right after this.
12:20 pm
12:21 pm
12:22 pm
there's word lawmakers could soon actually cut a day as soon as today to prevent another government shutdown weeks from now. that shut down the government thing didn't work well for those who shut it down. if congress passes it it would be the first successful budget agreement in two years, republican senator paul ryan and democratic senator patty murray have been working on the deal for weeks. the plan would suspend automatic cuts called sequestration, which were not supposed to happen and hit the pentagon and other agencies very hard. the people who could least
12:23 pm
afford to deal with this had to deal with and it it was awful. to pay for it the feds could raise fees like those we pay on plane tickets but critics say it will not make a dent in the $17 trillion national debt. lawmakers may skip the committee and take the bill straight to the house and senate floors so congress can, all together now, leave for christmas vacation by the end of the week. because they work so hard. they do. they get so much done. they do everything for us. and we should all get down on our knee and thank them right now because they've been wonderful, mike emanuel. tell us what great things they're doing now. i'm thrilled and proud. >> reporter: so noted. what republicans like about the idea is the idea of there would be some certainty. no talk of government shutdowns. they don't like the idea of addressing spending levels set in a debt deal two years ago and
12:24 pm
then perhaps paying for some of this new spending down the road. a leading house conservative earlier sounded hopeful. >> i do think there are a lot of things we can both agree upon that at least start to address the spending problem and focus on getting economic growth, and that would be a good thing, but they haven't reached an agreement yet. i hope they do. >> reporter: he says he thinks the government ultimately needs to move on from going from crisis to crisis. >> what are democrats saying about where things stand? >> harry reid said they're not there yet in terms of a deal. democrats have been very cautious about what they say about this because, of course, nobody has read a final deal just yet, so they don't want to say they're for and it then ultimately end up against it. but a senate democrat expressed some optimism. >> with the potential budget gem from senator murray and congressman ryan what he was an opportunity to reduce these
12:25 pm
impacts, to finally get to work replacing the harmful cuts from sequestration, with a responsible plan that will grow our economy and create jobs. >> we have been hearing from a variety of sources they're inching closer to a deal, but until they come out and say it's done, it's a deal, we don't have one just yet. >> but they could and then it would be a birthday budget, wouldn't it? >> that's correct. >> mike emmanuel's birth day today. he is 81. you look awesome. >> thank you, brother. >> kiss the grandkids. >> a major court ruling for one of our colleagues. this is the best news of the day. a decision that affects journalists across at the country, and affects every american who wants to have information that is not controlled. today a foxnews.com reporter found out whether she'll have to name her sources or face the reality she'll have to go to jail, and the secretary of state john kerry is telling congress, don't slap iran with any new punishment because we need time
12:26 pm
to let diplomacy work. he believes they're on to something, and close. some skeptical lawmakers say they plan to go ahead and slap on the sanctions. we'll get context and perspective, fair and balanced. this is "shepard smith reporting." glad to have you.
12:27 pm
12:28 pm
a fox report now. more of the headlines from here on the fox news deck. the feds approved the so-called voelker rule which limits the risky trades that banks can make for their own profit. supporters say the rule will prevent a meltdown. critics say it restricts banks. >> the new. ambassador to japan, caroline kennedy, laid a right at nagasaki. she visited hiroshima in 1978 with her uncle, the late senator
12:29 pm
kennedy. >> a traffic mess in the state of nudge after -- new jersey after a model home fell on the road. it ran a red light and rap -- ran into a light pole. no word on anybody being hurt.
12:30 pm
12:31 pm
29 minutes before the hour. a foxnews.com report will not have to reveal confidential sources after a high-stakes legal battle involving the very basics of journalism. the new york state supreme court ruled today it cannot force gorgeousist jonna winter to return to colorado. i centered on the aurora, colorado, movie theater massacre. sources told her the suspected gunman sent a psychiatrist a journal filled with violent references. the suspect's lawyers demand
12:32 pm
though that winter reveal the sources, claim that i go violated gag order. without the ruling our reporter would have had to face jail time just for doing her job. our senior correspondent eric shawn hires with an update. what did the majority rule? >> it is an astounding document, seen as a major victory for freedom of the press and the protection of confidential sources. in the ruling the state's highest court ruled by a vote of 4-3 in favor of her, declaring she can't be forced to reveal sources in her story because the new york state law here protects her. jana has been fighting a previous court ruling in colorado ordering her to testify about her sources for the information she had about the notebook. holme is charged with the mass movie theater in 2012. she refused to name her sources, right confidentiality in the new york state shield law, and the
12:33 pm
court agreed, ordering a reporter to appear in another state where there is a substantial likelihood she will be compelled to identify sources who have been promised confidentiality would offend our strong public policy. a constitutional tradition that has played a significant role in this state becoming the media capital of the country, if not the world. roger ailes praised this decision. >> today's ruling is a major win for all journalists. the protection of jana winter's confidential sources was necessary to preserve and protect journalism and democracy itself. in my view. so, the highest court in new york did the right think. >> the case is over and she will not have to testify. >> for those who work in the media capital of the world in this nation, at least, we can take the rights and privileges guaranteed to us by this decision to states all across the country, and since we work in so many of them, that's an
12:34 pm
enormous ruling. the disdissenters had a opinion. >> they said as new york reporters, you can't always take the new york state shield law to wherever you go. here's what of the dissentsers said, seems to be ang expansion of the new york jurisdiction. this court ruling cited john peters, 1735, major landmark ruling protecting journalists in colonial america. the judges say to the rulings protect folks like us who continue the tradition. >> thank god. studied that case as a college sophomore in the history of journalism. jana winter, thank goodness. she said she would go to jail. >> and not give up the sources, major principle in journalism in our country.
12:35 pm
>> the principle. i need to get you an update now on the story we have been reporting since the top of the hour. the really miraculous finding of this family who were found alive today in the mountains in nevada. the sheriff command center just confirmed some new details. they were there in a vehicle. there was a black vehicle. they were hope that i go could spot the vehicle. the vehicle was overturned, and according to the sheriffs department, the family took shelter inside the vehicle. built fires outside in an effort to keep warm. remember, it was 16 degrees below zero at one point. details are still incomplete on exactly where they found the family, on the road, off the road, anything like that. we don't know yet. the good news is the kids said they were hungry but everybody is very much alive and doing quite well, according to the undersheriff. all of them have been brought to the hospital in an ambulance. according to the hospital, none of their injuries are life-threatening. they're said to be in good
12:36 pm
spirits, considering what they've been through. man-can't wait to hear from that family. the united states and its allies are safer today than they were before a temporary deal to suspend parts of iran's nuclear program. that's according to the secretary of state john kerry. he testified just a short time ago on capitol hill. under this agreement the united states will not slap iran with any penalties for the next six months no additional penalties. but the u.s. senate is considering new punishments that would go into effect after the temporary deal expires. secretary kerry said today that he urged senators do not do that, and the secretary insisted an agreement with iran increases our national security. >> once implemented, and it will be in the next weeks, this agreement halts the progress of iran's nuclear program. halts the progress. and rolls it back in certain places for the first time. nearly ten years. >> some member office both political parties say they're
12:37 pm
skeptical. iran's foreign minister said the entire deal is dead if our congress passes new penalties. let's get to michael sing now, the managing director of the washington institute and the former senior director for middle east affairs at the national security council. how do you see this deal? >> this agreement is really just a time-out. it doesn't really resolve any issues between the u.s. and iran, and really just sort of carves out this six-month negotiating period there are important concessions the u.s. makes at the ends of the deal about allowing iran to keep enrichment in' purpose tattoo, and that's publish perpetuity. and as much as we're talk can about sanction is a soft 'king of the u.s. position which brought iran to the table. >> softening of our position in what what? >> on the question of enrichment. we had six u.n. security council resolutions that said iran needs
12:38 pm
to stop our rainal enrichment, all activities associated with the heavy water reactor and that's no longer the position of the u.s. so we have essentially given that away. we said iran can continue enriching. we're not demanding they spun enriching and that will be seen in the region and around the world, that's a success for iran in the face of the sanctions regime. >> in change for that, don't we get to have monitors in there watching in theory everything that we do, there are punishments that go with it, and john kerry seems to think it's a good deal. filibuster. >> well, i think that is the other side of it there haven't been a tremendous amount of sanctions relieved as a part of the interim agreement in the final agreement we say we will relieve those sanctions in exchange for iran doing those, frankly, somewhat mod test nuclear steps and not addressing things like terrorism. and of course, we do put in place mormonner toes and inspectors than we have seen
12:39 pm
that no verification or inspection is foolproof. we have seen many times where or inspection regimes have not been able to keep tabs on a state which is determined to evade inspection. >> we have seen what happens when you go into a country and create a war that ended up with a very closed to failed state in iraq. give it another try this team. good to see you. thank you, sir. >> presidents and celebrities joined tens of thousands of south africans today in johannesburg to pray tribute to nelson mandela. ♪ >> despite the pooring rain, folks filled two-thirds of the soccer stadium to both mourn the death and celebrate the life of the antiapartheid leader. many people in the crowd waved south african flags and danced with the music. president obama was among those speaking at the ceremony. on his way to the podium the president shook hand with other world lead efforts, including the cuban leader, raul castro.
12:40 pm
some republicans in the united states criticized the president for that hand sheikh and -- handshake, and an administration official says it was spontaneous and the president used his speech to call for all leaders to follow man -- mandela's example of fighting for human right. >> nelson mandela reminds us it seems impossible until it is down. south africa shows that is true. south africa shows we can change. that we can choose a world defined not by our differences about by our common hopes. we can choose a world defined not by conflict but by peace and justice and opportunity. >> the president in south africa this morning our time. today's memorial service lasted four hours. the first major eventsy sense nelson mandela died last week but will not be the last. greg is covering all of this for us from johannesburg. i know it was wet but what was it like on the grind there
12:41 pm
today? >> that's right. it was pretty wet but very moving. we were there at the memorial. the rain, and transit snafus and other worries kept the crowds down but in people who got there, got into it. take a look at what we saw. >> it is raining. it is windy. it is cold, but the folks in this soccer stadium in johannesburg will not be stopped. this is a memorial for the late nelson mandela, and the folks here are going to say, and it is going to be a celebration, it is going to be joyful. >> we are very excited because we are celebrating the life of our icon, our father, who led us out of oppression. >> very rainy. >> now the people of south africa really have a chance to say goodbye to nelson mandela. his remains will lie in state from wednesday to friday in pretoria. the golf government saides the remains will be visible to the
12:42 pm
public, and then on sunday this bur burial in home town. and the family wants more privacy. >> here in the united states, president obama's nominee to take over the irs faced a grilling from senators at his confirmation hearing and not just about the tax agency targeting groups, conservative and liberal and others. we'll get a live report from capitol hill next.
12:43 pm
12:44 pm
12:45 pm
>> president obama's choices to head the irs says it's his mission to make the irs the most admired and well-run agency in all of government. the irs. this -- he promised to work with congress and listen to employees and improve services. the confirmation hearing comes months after ther is irofficials admitted targeting groups and cost the former acting irs
12:46 pm
commissioner and other top officials their jobs. let's get to carl cameron for the latest. how did it go? >> reporter: pretty short. not a very long meeting. several interruptions because the members had to vote on the senate floor. then republicans using the arcane senate rules halted the hearing and there's no wore when they'll resume the process. the g.o.p. was protesting the democratic change to voting on judicial nominees. the nomination has been held up for more than 120 days mostly because republicans want to ensure that all of the investigations of the irs scandals are completed and want to make sure people are held accountable for the irs delaying and some cases denying tax exempt status. he addressed it in his opening remarks. here's how he talk about the scandal. >> in every area of the irs, taxpayers need to be confident they will be treated fairly, no
12:47 pm
matter what their backgrounds or their affiliations. public trust is ther irs most valuable assets. >> one of most unpopular agencies in history. the irs is working on rules that would limit activity of groups with tax exempt status. that is controversial because those groups are raising a lot of money and don't want to see their participation muddled. there's the case to be made it's not the irs's duty to enforce the stuff. perhaps it's the federal election commission or congress. >> the new healthcare law is mixed up in the middle of this as well. >> right dead center. the irs is supposed to be checking the fines from those poo who don't sign up for insurance, as well as streetlightsing the subsidies and credit for those who need help gems their obamacare. healthcare is a fifth of our
12:48 pm
new, economy, and it might be difficult or unwise to trust the irs handling obamacare. there will be a lot more of the battle. >> carl, thank you. nice to see you. if you want to remember some of your best experiences, listen up. and not take so much -- so many pictures of yourself. instagraming could mess up your memory. next, what this new study suggests about memory and all those photos that were taken, and,
12:49 pm
12:50 pm
12:51 pm
if you're one of those folks at a birthday of wedding snaping
12:52 pm
photos and uploading them to facebook or instaff gramp you've might want to think again. constantly taking pictures may keep your brain from remembering what really happened. the researchers call it the photo-taking impairment effect. ptie. the study appears in the journal of psychological science. dr. cooper lawrence is a psychologist and joins us now with another study to which i go -- >> ow always roll your eyes at studies. >> this one is dumb. i get it. the idea is we have pictures up here, that my staff and i have taken wheel we were oust doing whatever we were doing. the study says if i'm taking pictures, selfie or something, i forget what i was looking at. >> it says your memory isn't as good of that experience. here's how memory works. it's encoding, -- you have to pay attention when the guest talks. >> i also have to listen to the
12:53 pm
